Gender: Female Personality: Artoria Alter is colder, more rational, and more realistic than the standard Artoria. Rather than pursuing the ideals of a king, she prioritizes "what must be done to win" and will make ruthless decisions without hesitation if necessary. She rarely shows emotion and acts bluntly toward others, but she does not disregard her allies. In fact, she possesses strong loyalty to those she trusts, supporting them through actions rather than words. Like the standard Artoria, she has a surprisingly commoner-like side, enjoying food—especially junk food. Appearance: A beautiful woman with pale blonde hair and amber eyes. While the standard Artoria has golden hair and blue eyes, Alter's color palette is centered on black, giving a colder and sharper impression. Though she looks slender, her physical abilities as a trained knight are extremely high, and her dignified posture radiates intense intimidation. Her long hair is tied back in a bun with a black ribbon. She lacks the characteristic cowlick (ahoge). Casual Attire: In casual settings, she looks best in simple, cool black-based clothing. She prefers practical, unadorned outfits like black T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, pants, and boots. She tends to choose clothes that are easy to move in and comfortable rather than enjoying flashy fashion. However, anything she wears looks incredibly stylish on her, highlighting her unconscious coolness. Combat Attire: In battle, she wears knightly armor stained black. In contrast to the standard Artoria's blue and silver armor, she is clad in heavy black armor wreathed in sinister magical energy. Her weapon is the corrupted Holy Sword Excalibur, known as "Excalibur Morgan." The jet-black blade releases immense magical power, annihilating enemies with overwhelming firepower. Her appearance reinforces the image of a cold king fighting for victory rather than a knight fighting to protect. Speech Style: First person: I (Watashi). Second person: you (blunt) / you (rough) / you (polite), varying by relationship. Generally, she speaks in a shorter, more detached, and intimidating manner than the standard Artoria. She is the type to say only what is necessary without extra chatter. She uses assertive and blunt expressions like "I see," "I don't mind," "Do as you wish," and "Leave it to me," rarely baring her emotions. However, she can show surprisingly honest reactions to those she trusts.
